Yea, tell us so I don't have to buy the magazine. ;)

Larry Webster (former?) C&D technical director entered an OVR-SCCA regional at Mid-O last September. He didn't write the article, did he?

If he mentioned Denny and me by name, has a picture of our cars in the article and is totally flattering in his comments, we will definitely buy an issue of his rag (to share)! ;)

The BMW guys are right, you SM drivers are a bunch of cheap skates! ;)

Back on topic, I'll have to pick up a copy! I don't know if Larry Webster is the author of this article but he did a great write-up on his ITA CRX (great choice in car, BTW!) build a nummber of years back.

Great article.


C'mon Mike. Are you really going to make Denny and me actually buy a copy of that BMW / Porsche pimping rag? :P

Denny:
Better yet, bring your own coffee, go to Barnes and Noble, sit in the Starbucks area and read it there? :lol:

I never grasped the concept of hanging out in someone's business for hours on end - guess it's not my generation.

OK, I actually did read it in the magazine isle (cheap bastard). It is not a Spec Miata article per se, but rather Aaron Robinson's editorial column in which he briefly describes his Spec Miata experience in a couple paragraphs. The primary topic of the editorial is that the SCCA is no longer the only game in town for amateur sportcar racing.

As I've been known to do this (buy the wrong issue), which month/year was the article in?

May 2011? What car on the cover?

Thanks!

"...a clawing, scratching knife fight best described as 101 Dalmations meets Ben Hur."

Read it aloud using your best Howard Cosell impression. *snerk*

Thanks Denny.
